I use a custom made font for symbols on my map in ArcMap 10. Is there anyway to embed the font in the .mxd file so I don't have to distribute the font files with instructions on how to install it to my users?
On the ESRI blog I found this:
Please note that I am not looking for instructions on how to embed the font into an exported .pdf - I want to keep it in the .mxd file.

Sharing ArcGIS documents with character marker symbols
A critical thing to know is that if you want to share your ArcMap, ArcScene, or ArcGlobe document with others, they also need to have the font on their machine in order for the symbol to appear correctly. If they don’t, the marker symbol will undergo a font substitution and will be replaced with a character from a different font. Don’t forget that you may need to check the permission on the font you want to share.
